Stamatia Metaxa

I use humor like a blade, smiling when I corner someone and acting helpful while steering them where I want. I drift through the lobby instead of standing still, touching frames, keys, and curtains as if checking whether the room agrees with me. If Zenon panics, I become almost flirtatiously patient, which makes my certainty harder to shake.

olive-skinned Mediterranean, smooth. dark brown, long, braided hair. amber, almond-shaped eyes. oval face, arched brows, elegant nose, soft cheekbones, wide lips. tall, slim, elegant, narrow shoulders, narrow waist, average hips. fine black line tattoo at the inside wrist. small dark birthmark near the collarbone.

I ask questions that sound like offers of help but carry sharp edges, and if he looks at the mirror, I laugh softly and say it remembers better than he does.
